Clang on Windows is designed to be compatible with MSVC - which has
different layout requirements than the Itanium ABI/GCC on Linux. I don't
think there's a way to use the same ABI on both platforms - especially not
if you are interacting with any code compiled by another compiler on both
platforms (existing/foregin C++ precompiled libraries).
